Sheridan's Climate and Soil Affect Your Sand Job
Sheridan gets about 48 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground avoids a muddy mess. About 193 days a year drop below 32°F, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be. Thaw softens the ground for a stretch each spring, which is when a thin layer shifts underfoot. The area also gets about 52 inches of snowfall, which can cause plowing damage to a loose sand surface.
Soils mapped in the Sheridan area are commonly well drained. That typically means less base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Sheridan takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sand in Sheridan
Is Sheridan wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?
Yes. Sheridan gets about 14 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage matters. Choose a washed sand for areas that stay damp, and consider adding a base layer of crushed gravel to keep water moving away from the sand.
Does the length of the freeze season in Sheridan change what I should order?
Yes. With about 193 days a year below freezing, the ground shifts during freeze-thaw cycles. A deeper base layer and proper compaction help prevent the sand layer from moving when the ground thaws.
How is the delivery price calculated?
The delivery price is calculated based on your ZIP code and the quantity you order. You can see the exact total at checkout before you confirm the order.
What is the difference between the sizes you stock?
We stock mason sand, washed sand, and playground sand. Mason sand is fine and works for mortar and paver joints. Washed sand is coarser and used for concrete and fill. Playground sand is clean and soft, designed for play areas.
